Subject: Excellent for Carrier Operations
This is an excellent film of carrier operations with takeoffs and landings, but I am not sure it is a combat film. The film caption mentioning the F2A fighter, which was the Brewster Buffalo is incorrect, as the fighters shown are all Grumman F4F Wildcats. The folding wing aircraft are the TBD Devastators, as the SBD Dauntless never had folding wings, and the early F4F Wildcats also lacked folding wings.
